Gutted at the suspension. Four yellow cards for our side including three in the defence, feel the ref was a bit harsh on some occasions. Still, a much improved attack with seven shots on target against four solid defenders and a DM says we're at least heading in the right direction.

But a game where the best players on both sides are keepers says it all, really.

Jack really going well for us lately.

0 - 0 for us was a result that could have gone either way, both sides having good opportunities and i hit the wood work which i wish could have gone in. We seem to have addapted to the formation just can not get the goal we need. looks promising though for the Dynamo.

Gutted i couldnt get a goal in the opening stages of the game, but none the less an outstanding performance from Blake, simply marvelous i must say.

CW Under 20s faced a tough battle as NZ Under 20s arived on their shores.

The New Zealand press had all but written off the chances of the young players from the new footballing nation.

The New Zealanders knew they had the foundations of a very good team with the 'spine' provided by the talented quartet of Spoonley (Gk), Pelter (D), James (M), and Brockie (ST).

Could the CW Under 20s replicate the efforts of East Coast Fury by defeating a supposedly superior team.

In an effort to achieve this CW U20s captain, Håkon Mørk, announced the following starting lineup.

Code:

					GK S_Jasotharan

DF Dave_Kearsley	DF Jack_McNamara	DF Xavier_Rose	DF Daniel_Speirs


MF G_Sriram		MF Håkon_Mørk	MF George_Pardoe	MF Kexing_Su


			FW Thamba_Mamesh	FW M_Hutchinson

Subs
GK Ryan_Dunn
MF King_Clapham
DF R_Hingston
MF Greg_Thomas
FW Matt_Luff

NZ U20s
In a move that bemused fans and the press, the NZ Under 20s manager announced pre-game that he would be going with a 4-2-4 Counter attacking system.

It is a game that NZ Under 20s are expected to win, but will such tactical risk prove the manager a genius or cost him his job?

A good result which shows the future of CW XI football is bright. A good start to the budding rivalry.

Johnners · 17-01-2008, 03:36 PM

Very well done, CW Football on the rise.

Loony BoB · 17-01-2008, 05:26 PM

Wow, never expected to be in the squad.

pinchy81 · 17-01-2008, 08:17 PM

I never realised how cold the bench was good result for us though

dontcloseyoureyes · 18-01-2008, 01:07 AM

How'd Clapham become national captain btw?

Its a one match appointment based mainly on a) Him being the most prompt with Teamsheets and b) partly as a reward as he is the only captain to have won anything so far (CW-NZ Club Challenge)

pinchy81 · 18-01-2008, 02:06 AM

thought he also took us to our maiden CW Premiership

Goff handed over the captaincy after the first quarter.
